“This scarlet cord will save you,”
the spies told Rahab just before leaving the safety of her home.
As they lowered themselves down the side of the wall,
she did exactly what they told her to do.
She tied the cord on the bars of her window and waited.
Waited for the battle she knew was coming and waited to be saved.
Don’t we all long to have a scarlet cord tied to our window?
Something signifying that we trust in a coming Savior.
Something to show God that even though we’ve messed up and fallen short over and over again, we want to choose right.
We want to be victorious.
We want salvation.
Sometimes it may feel like our scarlet cord has not been seen.
We’re waiting and waiting for the dramatic rescue.
The moment when we know for sure we have been swept away from all that is wrong.
Battles rage all around us, and sometimes it’s easy to get discouraged.
Today, I’m feeling like someone needs to know that God sees your scarlet cord.
He knows you’re there.
He will honor your faithfulness.
He will bless your family, because you have chosen to do what is right.
He’s coming to save you, and He is faithful.
Don’t give up.
Keep trusting.
He’s on His way.
Your scarlet cord, your belief in His redeeming power, will be rewarded.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
